Annotation. Despite advances in detection and treatment, cancer remains a source of pain and distress to patients and of complex
challenges to the loved ones caring for them. The trend toward shorter hospital stays in particular has increased the physical,
psychological, and financial burden on caregivers, often leading to adverse effects on patients.Cancer Caregiving in the United
States illuminates these complex concerns with authoritative detail. This wide-ranging volume provides a comprehensive survey
of cancer-related issues, including those affecting the care triad (patients-family members- professionals) and quality of
care as well as the numerous physical, emotional, and financial challenges that caregivers may need to confront. Sources of
caregiver difficulty at each stage of the disease, from diagnosis to end of life, are explored. Each chapter analyzes its
topic in terms of practice, research, education, and policy,providing a wealth of literature reviews, assessment and care
models, interventions, and recommendations for future study and practice. Coverage includes:Caregiving issues for cancer patients
with long-term, short-term, and intermittent needs.Family caregivers as members of the treatment team.The impact of health
disparities on caregivers.Cancer care policy and advocacy.End-of-life issues for cancer caregivers.Legal, financial, and ethical
issues. Cancer Caregiving in the United States is a core reference for researchers, professionals/scientist-practitioners,
and graduate students in such caregiving fields as clinical psychology, social work, nursing, public health and medicine,
social policy, and educational policy
